What does it mean?

Conclusion

Is that good? Well, that’s what we can except from a good SSD on a 6Gbps bus.

The writing performance compares to a Crucial M4 256GB or a Samsun 840 Evo 120GB or a Intel 525 180GB (See Tom’s Hardware Charts). But let’s not forget that DigitalOcean provides RAIDs protection with also the benefit of giving outstanding read performance.

I don’t have an array of HDD to give a comparative test, however DigitalOcean delivers and my databases should run more than fine even with low memory thanks to high IOPS! Thank you DigitalOcean!
